3rd August 2024
As usual, Norm got the meeting underway before handing over to Joe to show us what
shorts would entertain us this meeting.
John B warned us not to jump to conclusions.
Philip showed how different nationalities can live together quite happily if they are left to do
so.
Helmut reminded us of the beauty of the Dandenongs, right on our doorstep.
And Matt did his usual and looked at delivering the news from a different perspective.
John M complained of the time needed to learn to use DaVinci.
Jacqui showed how you don’t need a gym to get fit, and breath pure, fresh air while you are
doing it.
Norm then introduced Brian Balen to give us the lowdown on the editing software that is of
interest to many in the club – DaVinci.
Brian told us that a new issue has been released that simplifies Resolve 18 and gets into AI.
For his talk Brian restricted himself to just using the colour page. Using actual examples, we
were shown how to make subtle variations to shades of primary colours and, most
importantly, how to reclaim those disasters created in the camera.
Questions from the audience suggested that some of our members are making good use of
DaVinci’s capabilities.
Thanks for your time and insights, Brian.
To finish the evening, any worries in the room were smoothed away by a nature story from
Geoff Ross. How often does the average Joe Blow even notice birds? Geoff’s Wings
reminded us what wonder and variety there is around us if we just look. And to put the
cream on the cake, the beautiful visuals were accompanied by equally beautiful music.
Thanks Geoff and Amadeus.
REMINDERS:
For those few members who renewal time has slipped their memories, will you please
renew your membership SAP?
That occasional fifth Friday pops up again in August so, if you will be joining us at the
Ringwood Club on 30th of the month, please let Phil know.
The short topic for our next meeting is; Traffic or, alternatively, Booze Bus. A word of
warning was issued if your choice is the latter. Don’t let the police see you pointing your
camera at a booze bus!
If you are into singing, the short for the following meeting will be right up your street. It’s
A Song.
